Today's episode features a conversation with finance consultant Jason Lum. Jason worked his way up to several high-finance roles - including a banking role at CIBC - from his time as an undergraduate at a non-target university in Canada. We discuss several aspects of the recruiting process, including:

- using 'bridge' roles to land your IB job
- the importance of combining networking with relevant experience
- how to bounce back from a superday disaster!
